A Substitute for Curtain Poles.

For hanging curtains at bed room
windows. don't use heavy poles and
rings, if the draperies are of lace, mus
lin or other light material. 1t is obvi-
Gus. once the attention is directed to it,
the support is strong out of all proper
ton to the thing to be supportcd; and
this is contrary to. all decorative can
ons. The very prettiest and simplest
substitute is a narrow strip of pine
wood, such as is commonly put into the
hem of Holland shades. On these
strips the lace or muslin is to be gath
cred. They cost two or three cents
each and can be had at any place
where curtains are sold. A hem al
most an inch wider than the stick,
should be made in the top of the cur
tain goods, and the stick inserted, the
fullness being evenly distributed along
it. A space of half an inch should be
left bare at one end. and small shinglc
nails, one at each end, driven through
into the window frame. The nails
should not be driven in up to their
heads but left little free, SO that they
may be easily removed when the time
comes for washing the curtains.
This simple little plan has been adopted
by \ large firm of house decorators
and has been by them introduced into
some very handsome houses. A pretty
variation may be made by leaving !
heading above the hem in which the
stick is inserted. In this form the
little strips of wood have even found
their way into the parlor.

Longfellow's Excelsior" is said TO

from the poets own lips, has told how
the poem came to be written; but
